O•P•I
A
family-owned company committed to the highest quality products
and to our customers’ well-being, OPI has long been a leader in
the community and within the Professional Beauty Industry. Quite
simply, we are dedicated to excellence.
OPI was founded in 1981 by President & CEO George Schaeffer, who
immigrated to the U.S. as a child from post-World War II Eastern
Europe. OPI continues to be family-owned, with Schaeffer and
Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, Executive VP & Artistic Director, at the
helm, and has grown to become the world leader in professional
nail care.
With this position comes responsibility, and OPI has always been
committed to providing our customers with the finest quality in
products and services.
From its inception, OPI broke through nail industry barriers.
OPI was one of the first in the nail industry to focus on and
limit sales of product to and through beauty professionals only,
and to realize the importance of education in both the sale and
use of the product. From the very beginning, OPI has shown its
commitment to quality by putting batch numbers, instructions and
ingredients on all of the products it sells. OPI has a dedicated
team of scientists who ensure product quality and safety, and
bring the latest technology and advances to its product
offerings.
OPI also takes a lead within the Professional Beauty Industry in
raising the standards by which the industry operates. OPI is
active in numerous industry associations whose aim is to ensure
that consumer safety is always preserved, through products and
services which are developed to meet and exceed safety
standards. The company works closely with federal, state, local,
and international agencies and scientists for the same purpose.
In addition to its commitment to customer service and safety,
OPI is committed to the safety of its own employees. Work-safety
seminars are held at the company’s headquarters several
